anyways....
you know you drive an XJ when... you dont care about the "jeep waving code" (where you initiate the wave if your jeep is inferior), and you just wave to every other XJ on the road, no matter how stock, and laugh when they look at you weird

Nope, I haven't. But when people act like idiots and endanger themselves and others I have no pity for the consequences they have to deal with as a result of their actions.
What if another vehicle had been on the road? What if somebody's kid got hit? I'm all about having fun in my Jeep but there has to be common sense that goes along with it.
FYI, you're right I do get into quite a few disagreements in life. Main reason behind that is I call things as I see them and people don't like to hear the truth.

First problem was that you were going 40 down a back road with snow on the ground.
I don't feel sorry when people like you get into accidents and destroy their vehicles. Acting like that you're just stacking the cards up against yourself.
I'm surprised Darwin didn't show up today.

For starters, thank you for assuming i'm a wreckless driver cause i'll have you know that i'm not. It was a left over drift from a previous snow storm the entire area wasn't snow covered at all it was the remains of a drift. I'm a safe driver, and to have hit that drift at any speed would have caused a problem, it was a blind dip in the road. No one drives perfect anyway face it everyone has a close call every now and again. Please take your sarcastic comments and shove them down your throat.

You know you drive an xj, when its below 20 degrees, when you turn it sounds like a dying goose because of the rubber surrounding the steering shaft is rubbing.
Oh and the airbag light comes on and you have no gauges

Keep in mind too it was a COUNTRY ROAD i get ticked when people assume things and variables were in the situation that never existed. Like another car, vacant country road i spun out with fields on either side of me, second children playing, like i said fields on either side me. People as dense as you seem to be are how bad conversations get started about good people. Besides you drive a dang ZJ, awsome grocery getter.

Why there would be anything wrong with driving a ZJ is beyond me. They came stock with the 5.2L and 5.9L V8s.
Where it happened isn't the point, its the rash act of extreme irresponsibility. Any number of things could have happened, thankfully nothing did. Plain and simple doing what you did was irresponsible and dangerous and could've put other people's lives at risk.
Next time I hope you do hit something. I hope nobody gets hurt but your vehicle is totalled so maybe you'd learn a lesson.

This kind of bull**** is why I don't spend a ton of time on this site anymore. People on pirate may be ******** but at least they don't condone stuff that could kill other people.
You've been arguing for like 2 hours and you have 3971 posts.... you spend Wayyy too much time on here. Give it a rest. We're all hardasses and you know none of us is ever gonna admit being wrong so just stop making a bigger fool of yourself. Nothing personal, it just makes us all look bad. Cheers
I very rarely browse the site anymore, I just get emails when somebody replies to a thread I've subscribed to.
